Miranda held the sword above her head ready to strike. " Hear my call oh mana of the world. I ask you to blow away the ashes of those I burn. I ask you to bury those that I drown. I wish for the light to separate the soul from the decaying body of that which I see as an enemy. Repent upon your fate, perfect elemental slash!"

Miranda shouted her mastery skill chant and a torrent of elemental mana burst from the blade. Walker could see an untold variation of elements combining and breaking avert. The blade itself had become a source of creation and destruction. Not a single person watching could take in a breath under the pressure.

Miranda slashed down sending a blade of fusing elemental manas. When it hit the massive training dummy the queen had created there was no explosion. There was no sound. Instead, there was only silent destruction. The elements reacted simultaneously freezing, burning, slicing, decaying, shattering, electrifying, building, and destroying the dummy.

The sight was impossible to describe other than that of pure elemental wrath. The dummy was soon nothing but a cloud of dusty ash blowing away in the breeze from the attack. Walker couldn't fathom what he had just seen. There was nothing that could explain what had just happened.

The only one able to move was the queen. She made the vines move away from the clearing dust and saw that the attack had erased the very existence of the dummy she had made. Looking farther she also saw that the vines had been severed from their root and would soon die. The entire training area was going to need to be regrown. But this was not a major loss, they had gained much more.

Walker soon tore his eyes from where the dummy had been and to where the queen was walking. She had stopped where Miranda had been standing. Alma and he rushed over to her side and were stunned by how Miranda looked.

Where Miranda had stood holding the sword had been replaced by a grey stone like a statue of her body and the perfect crystal magic sword. "She is a statue…" Alma was afraid that Miranda had died from the strike but as the enforcers surrounded Miranda and them, she realized it was not the case.

"Walker, you can feel the elements. Can you explain what has happened for Alma?" The queen knew she could explain the situation but felt it was wise to allow Walker to get a feel himself. It was also another brick added to the road of bonding for the elves and humans to let him explain what had happened.

"From what I can sense there is no elemental mana at all in her body or the sword. She has been petrified to some degree due to the loss of elemental natural mana and the mana her body produces. I believe this is what she meant by the fact that for a full day she wouldn't be able to even move a muscle while she absorbs elemental mana."

"So she is trapped there until she can absorb what she used. This is a dangerous attack both for the user and the receiver." Alma was terrified and worried.

"Yes, it is. It caused more damage than I predicted and also puts the user out of any battle for a full day or for their life if they are harmed. It can end a war or cause the loss of a war. I do not believe this should be used unless the entirety of our race is at risk." Hearing the queen say this every elf present sealed away this memory. If the worst were to happen they would need to be ready to protect their elemental spell sword.

I can't think of any way to protect myself from a skill like that. There is no weakness unless I could make a shield using every single elemental mana and then fuse them in untold ways." Walker was trying to speak of what he saw but many of the mages also had the same struggle.

"I saw a storm at one point in her strike but then I saw what looked like an earth melting. One part was a blizzard and…" Alma was having trouble speaking as well but they both agreed that it was an intense attack.

"The world has many combinations of the elemental mana. It is called natural mana due to the fact that it is the dance of this elemental mana balancing itself at all times to make nature flow. We may manipulate and change it, but we are also part of that balance. I saw creation and destruction in one attack. The dummy I made was not destroyed in to nothing but changed. That dust that blew in the wind was the very essence of what was destroyed."

The queen pointed out the exposed roots of the vines that made up the training area. They were covered in the grey dust but that wasn't what drew their attention. What really caught them was the fact that they had already begun to sprout and grow when they should be too damaged to do so.

"That's amazing. It is like a fertilizer made of natural mana. The attack may have used all of Mirands' mana and stored elemental mana, but it left behind the perfect material for new life to grow." Alma and Walker both marveled at this until the queen interrupted.

"Now, I know this was a lot to take in and you may wish to understand what is happening better. But your party member is in need of your attention." The queen had waved a hand making the vines she had encompassed Onyx with start to subside. However, Walker did not see Onyx at all, he saw a dense mass of shadow where Onyx had been.
